A downloadable game for Windows

CyberCellula is the prototype of a metroidvania-style action adventure game set in an unlikely future where man will colonize other planets and other solar systems. This prototype was FULLY developed in about 3 months in the spare time of those who participated. Only the graphic part concerning the animations of the protagonist were previously already prepared for MVM Jam 14 and never used again (not even in that jam session). Unfortunately, the programming and coding of this prototype are affected by the inexperience and effort made by the graphic designer/creator RML!nAction (Brother[RML]) or Renato Ramundo Orlando, who initially wanted to manage only the graphic and level design part, and in the end given the many defections of developers, he found himself having to put his hand to the code as well. The prototype is developed in GameMakerStudio 2.3 with a regularly purchased license.  The prototypo has several gaps in the coding, in the sound sector, and unfortunately also in the graphics which at a certain point suffered a setback, exactly on 25 July 2023 19:54:25 day the artist started code development for this game.
The prototypo lacks a real in-game tutorial, although there are several text messages that indicate how to use some features. so let's summarize the game commands briefly here: KEYBOARD Movement - 4 arrows Jump - Z Action/Open/Collect - X Use equipment - C Change equipment - Tab Map - M descends from levitating platforms - down arrow  Joypads Movement - left stick Jump - a Action/Open/Collect - X Use equipment - B Change equipment - RB Map - D-pad Up descends from levitating platforms - left stick down then hold   ESCAPE and SURVIVE Initially you will have no weapons at your disposal and your chances of survival in a hostile and unknown environment will depend on your skills. As you delve deeper into the space colony you will uncover secrets and unravel mysteries and increase both your survival and combat skills thanks to tons of implementations.
PUZZLES and MONSTERS Decades of abandonment have allowed alien life to take back their spaces with new and lethal evolutions. But be careful, even the droids left by the ancient settlers could prove lethal for our scientist.  A PLANET to EXPLORE An entire abandoned space colony to discover, tracing a map and discovering its secrets. And who knows if there will be some survivors of the human world. The prototypo is set in unique environment but 2 other vast environments full of puzzles and new enemies are already in preparation. Will you be able to reconstruct the whole story and shed light on the mystery of the abandonment of the colony?  You are CECILE You will take on the role of Cecilè Carola Martini, a scientist who works for the KVD, an academy specializing in interstellar research and exploration. Your scientific preparation allows you to effectively interact with the equipment you find while exploring and survive alien life forms. Will you be able to arrive unscathed at the end of the journey?

ya this one works

it Is extremely charming, I love the visuals and sound design. Feels like a long lost 80s pc game. 

Pretty buggy tho, opening doors and dashing will randomly not work, the enemies are very sporadic in movement and often impossible to avoid damage.

The only issue with the visuals is the x button prompt appears squashed. 

When I have to ascend the bug platforms after saving, they never actually line up to where it’s possible, I’d recommend just keeping them stationary in the correct positions 

Oh and it just crashed on the main menu if I press the map button accidentally 

thank U for this bug reports and for feedback about platform and movement of robots (i mean. other enemy have a movement path regular
